Very excited about this and will be pre-ordering shortly. Regarding the above, I take it these links will ensure this place benefits? If so, will do with pleasure :)

You are ignoring or forgetting “Prime Cuts”, “The Life And Crimes of Alice Cooper”, “Good To You Again, Alice Cooper” and the re - mastered versions of “Love It To Death”, “Killer”, “School’s Out” and “Billion Dollar Babies”, for some reason.

No, I'm not ignoring or forgetting those releases.

I was thinking in terms of more stuff to listen to and add to the collection. More rare and collectable stuff available with this set more than all the other releases.


I have "Prime Cuts" (both VHS and DVD), "Good To See You Again, Alice Cooper", "The Life And Crimes Of Alice Cooper" and the remastered "Billion Dollar Babies".

Still haven't got the other remasters yet. Haven't seen them in stores anywhere and I don't have a credit card to order off of the Internet.

Either way, didn't mean it to sound like we haven't gotten anything over the years, as we have. Just exciting that there is more stuff being released. Call me greedy!

And now a question for Andy.

The picture from the box is the real deal ? so I can assume that everything is filled in.
I mean tracklist and dvdcontent.
Or is there still room for change?

Just curious. :alice:

I was just wondering is the 64 page yearbook and the the book written by Lonn Friend the same thing or are they 2 different things?
Also how cool would it be if part of the DVD was the hall of fame footage. Then again does say 1964 to 74 so probably not.

Well i'm assuming the spoken word cd will be from a recent recording so i can't see why not..... however i'd imagine there would be some copyright issues if they wanted to use some R&RHOF footage.

On second thoughts..... i'm assuming alot there so probably best ignore everything i said! Never assume..... it makes an ass outta...... blah blah blah

I think it's SO COOL that there's an ACG box coming up !
The contents sounds great, and yes there's allways more that you would like, but you can't have everything at once.I also think it is a bit pricey, but I fully understand that a limited number release with expensive reprints and copyright issues would make it so. I'll HAVE TO get myself a copy or I'll regret it for life. I only hope that they have included a section in honour of GB, now that he's sadly not here to experience it.

"I only hope that they have included a section in honour of GB"
The School's Out inspired box does say RIP GB, so I am guessing so, although to what degree, I have no idea.
This is a really great cover, I like M.O.B. and the way Dennis included his wife.
Ordered through the amazon link here.

I sold a bass pedal to ordered it !

I hope the Madison Square recording will include the whole show... I miss the incredible School's Out version on the B$B Deluxe edition.

Hopefully we will get some sort of tracklisting soon and all will be revealed.

I took a closer look at the pictures and i think the third cd is called : IN THEIR OWN WORDS.

Sounds great and I must say this is one of the most impressive looking boxes I have seen the last years. So don't hesitate ORDER or you will regret!! :rock:

I don't think so. Muscle of love demos + school's out pre-production is already on it.
I think it will be the Christmas / new Year song they played on that show if my memory is correct.

Oh wow, this looks like a really great set. Pricey, but so worth it. I'll have to make some serious money in the next little while so I can get this. Considering selling my copy of The Wall on vinyl D:

I've ordered it !

Couple of Questions , AC.Com is saying "Tour Programme" now as opposed to the plural so I assume there is only one programme now.Will it have the Nobody Likes me single attached ?

Also the 64 page yearbook and the book written by Lonn Friend are one in the same ?

I think its fantastic value actually given the inclusions!

A Vinyl and CD copy of St Louis is probably a bit of overkill but anyway well done and thanks to those involved
